Expression and Characterization of HGV E2 cDNA in Pichia pastoris

A 559 base pair fragment of cDNA locating at the putative E2 region of GBV-C/HGV was in-serted into Pichia pastoris expression vector pPICgK in the reading frame of α-factor secreting signal pep-tide. The recombinant expression plasmid pPIC9K-E2 was introduced into P. pastoris GSll5 with electro-poration and recombined with the host genome by homological recombination. The His+Mut+ recombinantyeasts were selected and cultivated in the BMMY medium. After 3 days induction with 0. 5% methanol,the target protein(E2) accumulated up to 30% of total proteins in the supernatant. The expressed E2 pro-tein was proved possessing antigenicity and high specificity with Western blot and ELISA probed with serafrom the immunized rabbits and the patients infected by GBV-C/HGV.

Relative fermentability of lignocellulosic diluteacid prehydrolysates

The relative toxicity of the combined nonxylose components in prehydrolysates derived from three different lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks was determined. One woody (poplar) and two herbaceous (corn stover and switchgrass) feedstocks were dilute-acid pretreated under temperature and acid conditions chosen to optimize xylose recovery in the liquid prehydrolysate; xylose yields averaged 96,89,and 87% of theoretical for switchgrass,corn stover,and poplar,respectively. Prehydrolysates from each feedstock were neutralized,adjusted to equivalent xylose concentrations,and bioassayed for toxicity,using a standardized fermentation protocol withPichia stipitis NRRL 11545. Full time-courses for ethanol production (30-60 h) clearly illustrate the distinct inhibitory effects of prehydrolysates from different feedstocks. The relative toxicity of the prehydrolysates,ranked in order of decreasing toxicity,is poplar-derived prehydrolysates > switchgrass-derived prehydrolysates > corn stover-derived prehydrolysates. The inhibition of ethanol production appeared to be the result of a general slowdown of yeast metabolism,rather than the result of the production of alternative, nonethanol end products. Ethanol yields averaged 74,83,and 88% of control values for poplar,switchgrass,and corn stover prehydrolysates, respectively. Volumetric ethanol productivities (g ethanol L/h) averaged 32,70,and 102% of control values for poplar,switchgrass,and corn stover prehydrolysates,respectively. Ethanol productivities correlated closely with acetate concentrations in the prehydrolysates; however, regression lines correlating acetate concentrations and ethanol productivities were found to be feedstock-dependent.

优选发酵毕赤酵母与酿酒酵母混合发酵的葡萄酒酿造应用潜力

实验基于主要发酵副产物的生成含量评价优选发酵毕赤酵母与酿酒酵母混合发酵对葡萄酒质量的影响。采用优选发酵毕赤酵母Z9Y-3和商业酿酒酵母F33设计同时和顺序两种接种方式启动模拟葡萄汁的酒精发酵,以酿酒酵母和发酵毕赤酵母单菌株发酵为对照。琥珀酸和乳酸利用高效液相色谱法测定,甘油采用高碘酸钠氧化法分析,挥发酸采用水蒸气蒸馏法测定。结果显示,优选菌株参与下的发酵没有显著影响酒精发酵的进程,但在发酵过程中发酵毕赤酵母生长速率低于酿酒酵母。与酿酒酵母纯发酵相比,混合发酵提高了甘油的含量,降低了挥发酸的含量,其中顺序接种的发酵过程中酿酒酵母活菌数最高,发酵毕赤酵母存活期最长(7d),发酵过程中甘油累积量最高(2.7g/L),挥发酸含量最低(0.2g/L)。不同发酵处理中,琥珀酸和乳酸含量均呈现先增后降的趋势,但其最终含量变化不显著。综上可得,优选发酵毕赤酵母和酿酒酵母的混合发酵具有应用于葡萄酒酿造的应用潜力。

优化甲硫氨酸补料策略提高重组毕赤酵母G12-CBS合成S-腺苷甲硫氨酸

重组毕赤酵母G12-CBS经代谢工程改造,可高效表达重组S-腺苷甲硫氨酸(SAM)合成酶,并弱化了SAM转化途径的关键酶β-胱硫醚合成酶,是一株优良的SAM高产菌。为了利用G12-CBS高效合成SAM,需对前体(甲硫氨酸)的补料策略进行优化。首先在摇瓶中考察了不同甲硫氨酸(L-Methionine,L-Met)添加量对于G12-CBS的影响,发现每24hL-Met补加量超过3mg/mL时,会影响重组菌生长和SAM合成。在15L发酵罐中优化L-Met的补料速率,当外源补料速率为0.4g/(L·h)时SAM产量最高,分别比补料速率为0.2g/(L·h)和0.6g/(L·h)时提高22.2%和31.8%,达到13.01g/L,比出发菌最高产量提高54%。代谢物及酶活测定的结果表明,较低的L-Met补料速率(0.2g/(L·h))导致前体供应不足而影响SAM合成,过高的补料速率(0.6g/(L·h))可能会抑制三羧酸循环,并且影响氮源的摄取和利用,从而导致菌体生长和产物合成受到抑制。
